I'm a PhD student in engineering mechanics at Virginia Tech, with a background in electrical and electronics engineering. My research interests revolve around using theoretical mechanics, design, and mathematics to create innovative solutions for engineering problems.

One of the things I love doing is working on robotics projects. I've been fortunate enough to work on a variety of them, ranging from localization of aerial robots to designing legged and snake robots. I find these projects fascinating because they combine elements from different disciplines, and require a lot of creativity and problem-solving skills.

Currently, I'm working on some exciting projects:

1. Modeling dynamic systems with non-holonomic constraints and studying their chaotic behavior. 🌀
2. Exploring different complex mechanical system networks and finding intersections between them and physical reservoir computing models. 🤯
3. Modeling snake locomotion and exploring the role of normal force modulation in it. 🐍

My goals for this year are ambitious, but I'm excited about them. First, I want to complete my master's degree in engineering mechanics and finish my thesis on modeling animal locomotion. Second, I plan to pursue a master's degree in mathematics, because I believe that mathematics is a key element in solving many engineering problems. Finally, I hope to find a great topic for my doctoral research.

🚀 My expertise lies in several areas of robotics, including motion planning, control, perception, and machine learning.

📈 In mathematics, I have a good background in pure mathematics and applied areas such as linear algebra, optimization, and numerical analysis.

If you're interested in my work, or if you'd like to collaborate, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always happy to chat! 😇

🎨 Drawing portraits is my favorite way to unwind and tap into my creative side. When I'm not working on robotics or mathematics, you can find me sketching away!
